Who I Work With: Adults Living with PANS
Adults with PANS/PANDAS and/or Tick-borne Illness (Babesia, Bartonella, Lyme) often feel invisible or misunderstood, as PANS doesn't only affect children. For those seeking PANDAS support or PANS coaching, coaching for caregivers can provide essential assistance in navigating these challenges. Coaching support may include: making sense of symptoms and patterns, navigating work, relationships, and daily functioning, reducing shame and self-blame, creating realistic, compassionate strategies for stability, assessing the need for second opinions or different approaches, supporting wellness strategies, and encouraging nervous system awareness. This work is paced, respectful, and grounded in the belief that healing is possible, even after long chronic illness.
What Coaching Is & Isn’t
Coaching for caregivers is:
- Practical, goal-oriented support
- Education and systems-thinking around PANS
- Emotional support during a highly stressful journey
- Help coordinate questions, priorities, and next steps
- A steady, informed partner walking with you
Coaching for caregivers is not:
- Medical diagnosis or treatment
- Therapy or crisis care
- A replacement for your child’s medical or mental health team
I provide PANS coaching and patient advocacy that works in parallel with medical and mental health professionals, not in place of them, ensuring you receive the PANDAS support you need.
Consultations ($300/hr)
The hourly consultation is a flexible option that may be used for a wide variety of situations where you want help now. This option is ideal if you:
- Are early in the PANS journey and asking, 'Is this really PANS?'
- Need help organizing information, questions, or next steps
- Want targeted support during a flare or transition
- Need assistance educating or aligning spouses, extended family members, or school teams
Our coaching for caregivers provides hourly consultation sessions that can be one-time or intermittent and may include:
- Parent or caregiver consultations
- Joint sessions with partners or family members
- Educational presentations or Q&A sessions for schools or support teams
These sessions are focused, practical, and designed to meet the specific challenges you face, including PANDAS support and PANS coaching.
